SPECIIICATION femm-g part of neuem Patent No. 742,463, dated october 27. 1903. Application tiled .Tune 30, 1903. Serial No. 163.743. (No model.)

i monly sought in such structures, but it es.-

pecially is desired to provide a joint of exceptional strength which may be prodnced'at small oost.

To the above ends my invention consists of the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figurel is a plan view of thev original blank from which the joint is to he formed; Fig. 2,

` of a base portion carrying outstandingspaoed an edge view of the same; Fig. 3,11. like view of the same with the parts partially bent; Fig. 4, a. rear elevation of the saine after being bent into final shape;l"ig.5,a perspective View of a joint attached to a brooch and carrying a pin-tongue; and Figli, averti'cal section of the joint, showing in side elevation a portion of the mounted 'pin-tongue.

Like reference -letters indicate like parts throughout the views.

My novel joint is constructed as follows:

` :From a. strip of stock, 'ireferably cylindrical in transverse section, i swage a flat oblong blank A, provided with curved wings a a', which have, respectively, upon their upper surfaces integral projections b and c. The

projection b is cylindrical and located nearer' the upper than the lower margin of the blank.' This projection is the pint-le member of the joint. Thepro-jeeti'on c is preferablyquadrilateral in contour and is located near the lower margin and vertical axis of the blank. ily lies or other suitable means the blank is then bent with the projections upon the inner faces of the wings, as shown in Fig. 3, ready to receive the loop d of the pin-tongue upon the p-intle b. The win gs a a' are next pressed into upright position, and the joint is then ready to be soldered to the brooch B, carrying the usual catch C.

It will be seen from Figs. 5 and 6A that the pintle b is slightly in the rear of the center of the wing a and that the stop c is slightly below the pintle. This permits free p sage for the end of the loop (l when the tonguee is revolved.

Having described y invention, what I claim as new, anddesire te secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A pin-joint comprising abody consisting projecting from the other wing between the pintle and base.

In testimony whereof I have aixed my sig 7 nature in presence of two witnesses.
